oul they not having patience to wail for our ar rival and doubting that the enemy would not i slay long there they attacked the camps ; but 1 being deceived by the situation of the same they attacked the wrong end and gave them a j clear passage to run â€” as they did the first shot the cotappoes being in the front espied a cheerokee coming out of one of iheir houses and being so confounded by the surprise ran the wrong road for him for instead of clearing himself as the rest of his countrymen did he made right in the face of our indians who,willing â– to see such a chance embraced the opportuni ty and committed him to the terrors of death j after the departure of those cowards the co tappoes searched next for plunder and got a ' greal parcel of beads wampum garters and ! dear-skins and likewise some horses ; and in | getting his booty were vastly encouraged ; but â€¢ as they were returning with iheir prize and ascending up a hill some small distance from their camps the cheerokees waylaid lhe co tappoes and being unperceived by being be hind trees fired at them ar.d killed one of the head warriors among them he who first discov ered their camps our men instantly rushed up ; but as soon as our enemies fired they ran so that ihey cleared themselves after this they started down to toxaway where we met them with the reinforcement ; and having no thing more to do there we all marched back to senica fort and arrived thursday the 3d and lay there waiting for col sumpter and regi ment before we could start to the middle set dement being too scarce for amunition ; so lay encatnp'd till thursday the 12ih instant when arrived 270 men of col sumpter's who encamped friday the 13th day of september 177g we started by beat of drum lo march ; our in tent was for the middle settlements a habita i lion for indians we or our lines of battle j were ordered as follows : we were drawn up i iu ihree lines or wings col sumpter comman der of the right wing col mammon comman j der of the leli wing and col neel commander j of die front or centre in this manner we j marched to the waters of cane creek and ; encatnp'd after a day's march of about 8 miles saturday the 14th we started from camp and marched until we came to the mountains j of ocone and crossed them with some difficul i ty and at length came to a small branch and j encamp'd there after a day's march of 15 miles | next day we marched about 12 miles and en 1 camp'd at a river called tugla at the mouth of i warewoman's creek from there we march ed next day and crossed warewoman's creek i il being so crooked that we crossed it above i 16 miles in the distance of 8 then corning into a mountainous country our marching be coming lhe more difficulter we scarcely ex ceeded 12 miles per day ; but allowing that this distance itself would some time or other bring us to our enemies towns it fared us as follows : we next came to the waters of little tugla and encamp'd by the foot of 2 mountains â€” ihis days march aboul 12 miles tuesday the 17th of september we start ; ed as formerly and marched to the waters of j tinnessy river from thence to the gassy plains and on to the narrows made by the ; mountains on one side and tinnessy river on the other where we expected to have an en i gagement with our enemies being so advanta gious lor ihem being the spot where they re | pulsed general grant the last war with killing upwards of 50 men a great many horses and lost a vast deal of provision ; so much that a , great many suffered before ihey returned but to be short we came through these narrows with great courage and continued our march to the first town in the middle settlements call ed thisinlheagb and finding the indians all had lie we encamped in this town it being convenient on account of houseroom here , we sloped till further orders which soon came for on wednesday the 18th instant we march ed a long tinnessy river to coweachee town and finding the north army had been there commanded by brigadier general rutherford we started in pursuit of them as far as a town called cannutee where we found a party of the aforesaid army ; that is to say a baggage guard whilst the rest marched to the vallies we started at the north fork of tinnessy and marched lhis day to the south fork of said wa ters being about 12 miles this evening we were informed lhat the north army had started to lhe vallies was bewildered on account of being destiiule ofa pilot : this account occa sioned us lo send two pilots to tliem allowing them to attack the lower end of the vallies whilst we were lo attack the uppermost town here we encamped by the aforesaid tinuissy river thursday the iqthdayof september 1776 we started to the vallies and a most difficult roal il wis marching along tinnessy river or branch called cowechee ; the path or road we marched led us into along valley or rather a hollow surrounded by mountains on all sides only ihe entrance ; this place goes by th * [ name of black hole and well it deserves that i title but to proceed on our milling our front j guard commanded by capt ross was aboul half through these narrow and seeing some very fresh signs of indians had a mind to halt j until the two wings that is col sumpter and col h amnions would come up even with him ; but ihey being tedious the passage being nar i row aud difficult and he being hurryed by one john sentpears who was hurrying fast to his i end as appears by his conduct but to be as 1 short as possible as i informed you the afore said capt being aboul half through hese nar rows the enemy was all ambuscaded around us and not being discovered until capt hamp ton who was captain of the main guard and marched on the front of the right wing had as sended up the mountain when he espyed indi ans behind a tree afler lhis discovery he in stantly fired at them this alarm opened or rather emptied our enemies guns to our sur prize ihey poured down their bullets upon us beyond the standing of any common soldiers ; but we being resolute were determined not to bo conquered which plainly appears by our valour and magnanimity our noble col neel being partly in the front fought most admira bly considering his age and frailly ; but cast ; ing these infirmities away and putting on the 1 coal of invincibleness and rushing through lis enemies like a herculess or one fearless of danger with his men at his back determined l to fight while there was one of them ; and by our obedience to his orders we through mercy â– defeated our enemies wilh the loss of 13 gal lant men a merciful escape considering the 1 wonderful form those heathens was placed in : likewise the impossibility of our geuing an equal chance with them the greatest and ! indeed almost all the killed and wounded were i in col neel's regiment on the account of our being in the front of the battle this engage ! ment may be spoken of as a miracle consider ! ing the multitudes of enemies and an admira ! ble place they had to fire on us that we were i not almost all killed ; for nature never formed ! such an advantageous place for our enemies ! which was allowed of by all spectators this ! mountain is of a hemispherical form and had i to march over the center of the same where our enemies had us partly under their fire be fore hey were discovered â€” this battle con tinued the space of 2 hours very warm but ac cording to our orders which was as follows ; ' the first fire our line that is gol neel's regi ment was ordered to the right to assist the guard who was first attacked ; and leaving our line according io order and none to fill up our place the poor front guard was left amongst their heathen enemies with none to assist them ; so that ihem that could not get retreat ing dyed by lhe hand of iho enemy ; for col sumpter was ordered wilh his regiment lo a mountain o the right distant almost a mile : the chief design of that i suppose was to hinder our enemies from coming round on our baggage and provisions which orders they ex ecuted very manfully ; but as for col ham ilton's regiment i cannot give any account of their orders as i had not an opportunity of see in them ; the line however that ihey ought to have cleared of our enemies was the left which kept up a constant and hot fire against us ; but by risking and running upon them cleared them off heir mountain which seemed an impossi i bility to do considering the advantage they had ' of us on account of the situation of the moun ' lain they were on and likewise the grass be i ing so admirable long that they always had j the first shot ; and also lhe mountain being so steep that they could handily clear themselves i so that we had to appearance but little chance i with them one thing we prelty soon cleared i ihem off iheir mountain ; for there was no oth er way to conquer them than the method we ! took which was lo run right upon them as hard i as we could run ; for it would have been next i to vanity to stand and fight them but to be short we cleared ihem off their mountain with ! out giving ihem so much lime as to take off all ! their luggage ; for they left baggage of about j 200 of them that is lo say blankets mocosons ! boots some guns matchcoats and doar-skins c c i i must here give a sketch concerning the ! conduct of some of col neel's men who were j wounded and escaped first of capt ross who was in the front was slightly wounded ; the ' indian that fired at him thought to have his i scalp and making to him his head being down ! and bleading struck with the gun in his hand ! until the force of the stroke broke the butt ! thereof but the captain recovering and act | ing like a gentleman becoming his station ! wilh all the intrepidity that nature ever en i dowed a hero with of this age soon overcame | him and got his scalp this aforesaid cap i lain ought to be extolled to the utmost for his ' wonderful conduct and patriotism who is al ' ways acting for the good and advantage of his i couniry ; and none who is not bigoted up in enthusiasm that is to say heat of imagination : ; if we were here to applaud him according to ' his deserts we should neither have room nor expression to accomplish the same : â€” but to proceed we will next take notice of a lieuten i ant that was that day in the front with him [ named wiliiam patrick a man of distinction as well as properly ; he was in the midst of his enemies having ihe whole engagement and shewed all the valour and dexterity imaginable next our noble capt clinton who ought to be in the front of our journal on account of his valour and elegance being a gentleman of su i perior dignity and flexibility his courage is un bounded and his conduct inexpressible as j plainly appeared by the sudden retreat of ihese j foresters occasioned by the undaunted courage j of such superior officers and lhe assistance of their good soldiers ; but more particularly by the hand of providence that interposed in our behalf we conquered our heathen enemies ', the number of indians that fought us thai day by information was 600 the number of ihem lhat was killed is not exactly known but we found but 4 dead on the ground â€” we had to encamp here all night en account of bury in our dead and attending the sick and woun ded : a most dreadful sight to behold our fel low creatures lying massacred in such a man j ner by lhe heathens for there was three oi ; four scalp'd and one sadly speered and loma j hawked : his name was john senlspeers who when the battle began ran violently up among ' the thick of them ; so lhal they had time and liberty to do wiih whatsoever they listed â€” i there was also killed samuel thomson a i young a man of great courage and valour like ; wise a man of conduct and gained the good | will and esteem of all lhat ever was acquainted | wilh him ; in short he was of that evenness of j temper that all his acquaintance desired his i company if i had time and room to display | his merits or was really abje to do so it would make the most obduratest heart lament the boss of such a hero to think that power or authori i ty over such a good man but why should i : say so ; who by appearance was in lhat assem bly fitter to go and attend the call he was com missioned or summoned unto ? it was allowed ' he was deceived by thinking it was one of onr j own indians until the cheerokee shot him ; wilh two bullets in the body there was like ; wise killed john guyton william moore : i james caldwell john branner james lusk ! | and one the name of linen lhe remainder i j cannot recollect ; but there was killed on the ' ground 13 and 18 wounded ; in all killed and j wounded the number of 31 gallant and brave j soldiers friday the 20th we gathered our sick and wounded and sent ihem back to the north ar \ : > my and sent with them a guard of one hundred ! j men and the remainder of us continued our j march to the vallies ; so started and came into the greatest of lhe narrows where were great . numbers of our enemies camps confined by the sides of admirable laurel thickets : our road seemed to go up such a large mountain or rather between two mountains which seem i ed the wildermost like part of the world we were ever in the precipice of which seem ed unclimbable ; but not tearing these seeming difficulties whilst our good presepter col neel was able and willing to lead us through all darger in this manner we marched expect ing we should see our enemies every mile | whom we were always ready to engage being prepared for them at length we came to the top of lhe mountain with some difficulty and finding it so high and open we encamped thereon after a day's match of about 5 miles saturday the 21st instant we continued our march as formerly and as i have mentioned of lhe day's march before of the difficulties con tained therein i think this day will afford us little restitution therefor only this it seems something descending we marched through laurel swamps and thickets a place where we had not the happiness of the sun to shine on us neither the privilege of marching without great difficulty occasioned by the narrowness of the path being closed in by mountains on both sides ; and also the thickets of laurel so closed over our heads that it hindered us i may say from the light of the firament it al so hindered oui flankers to march and confin ed us almost to one path in this manner we marched about 5 miles and on a sudden the front espyed an indian squa ; at her they fired two guns which put us all in an alarm allow ing it an attack but soon found to the contrary seeing no more indians there we sent up one bremen a half indian that was in company to ask her some questions ; for although she was wounded in the shoulder and leg yet she could speak and told the interpreter as follows viz that all the over-hill indians and the chief of he indians of the towns we had gone i through were at that battle lhat was fought the day before : and further that they were en i camped about 4 miles ahead and was prepar ing to give us balile by lhe river or waters of tinnessy â€” hearing this account we started [ and the informer being unable to travel some of our men favoured her so far that they killed her there to put her out of pain but to pro ceed we marched as quick as possible o the aforesaid waters beholding as we marched j the backs and forms ihey had to lay their guns on in case of an engagement as we conjee lured ; and by the appearance of the same there appeared lo be great numbers of them which gave us fresh assurance of our having another engagement with hem which we much wished if we could get an equal chance wiih them in the ground which is almost an impossibility to do they having such opportu nities of chusing it : and likewise they will not stand a battle with any but when they j have such advantages â€” by this time we came \ within sight of the aforesaid river which seem ed tbe most advantageous place for our ene j mies of any water we had hitherto met with ! being closed in by a thicket on one side and by a large mountain on the other however ; placing our men in order as follows we sent the left wing over the river the right wing up the mountain and us in the front or cenlre : â€” j these were the orders of our head command er general williamson which we obeyed and | marched through a dreadful valley and wonder j ful thickets at length we came to a place more clear and encamped there after a day's ! march of 9 miles we are to mind that the number of men that ' marched from sinachee fort that drew provis i ions were 1860 but the aforesaid battle reduc i ed us to the number of 1600 exclusive of 164 | who were sent back with the sick and wound ed sunday the 22d day of september 1776 we i started and il seemed as if we were-never lo | get a road again that was travelablc for this j day showed us the worst road we hitherto met ! with ; the reason was this day col neel's regi j ment was appointed for the right wing flank j which occasioned us to lake lo the tops of the ; mountains which seemed a task hard enough j for birds ; bul it was not a time then to hesilate ' go we must and go we did all with one con sent knowing that there was no danger or ma terial affair to happen : col neel's regiment was all they depended upon in the execusion of ', it and it always happened that we came off fortunately and victorious being crowned wiih 1 fortitude capable to bring us through the great i est difficulties : so we marched from one m<>nii ; tain lo another which seemed an impossibili ty even for fancy to accomplish or for the most curious writer to describe at length we came i to a mountain more curious than lhe rest be cause il gave us a more clearer view of the neighbouring mountains and a small valley or grassy plains this we wished to be our desired port : the distance we could not give an exact i account of â€” i have taken notice of this extraor dinary mountain which was almost impassible being nearly perpendicular the next moun ; lain that offered was named by us slalely hill on account of ils natural produce abounding ; mightily wiih slaies over this we came also and arrived at the path where lhe army had lo , march which was liule inlerior to oiirs only not nigh so high but abounding with lawrel swamps and sideling thickets after this man ner we marched to lhe waters of highwassa.and encamped between iwo mountains after a day's march of 9 miles monday the 23d we made ready to march ; the orders from our general was that there should be 40 men chosen out of each regiment for front guards or rather spies lo discover the situation ot the towns ; so we set off and , always minded to lake pdssession of all the hills â– ' and mountains we came to we crossed a ! small mountain named knotty hill ; from i thence we steered to another where we had a 1 full view of a town called burning town dis \ . lant from us about 1 mile : so look lo the right i to surround it and continued in that course j about half way by this time we espied the main body of our army marching into it the [ front of the town we look where we gol peace j ; ably without shooting a gun though a large i town having upwards ol 90 houses and large : ! quantities of corn ; but they had cleared them j j selves and took with them the chief of all their : effects save some of iheir horses a party of i col thomas's regiment being on the hunt of i plunder or some such thing found an indian | squa and look her prisoner she being lame ; : was unable lo go with her friends ; she was so sullen lhat she would as an old saying is nei | iher lead nor drive and by iheir account she died iu iheir hands ; bul i suppose ihey help j , ed her to her end here we encamp'd among i ( the corn where we had a great plenty of corn i peas beans potatoes and hogs : this day's j march about 3 miles tuesday the 24th instant we were ordered ; to assemble in companies to spread through lhe ! â€¢ town lo destroy cut down and burn all the veg elables belonging lo our healhen enemies \ which was no small undertaking they being ' so plentifully supplied : so afler accomplishing 'â– this we were ordered lo march by this lime ! there was an express arrived from lhe norlh i army hat gave us the following intelligence 1 viz that the first town they came lo they j surrounded it and killed and took the number | of 16 indian fellows and squas without the loss of one man the enemy not being apprized of their coming after this agreeable account we started and came along a small mount call ed by them bloody hill and so on to another town called timossy distance 2 miles and en camped wednesday the 25th of september 1776 , i we engaged our former labour that is cutting ;' ; and destroying all things that might be of ad | ' vantage to our enemies finding here curi i ' ous buildings greal apple trees and whiieman ! ' like improvements these we destroyed ; and ! '' marched down said vallies to another town ! named nowyouwee ; this we destroyed and | all things therunto belonging distant 2 miles j ' i from hence we steered lo another lown called , < tilicho a brave plentiful town abounding with , ; the aforesaid rarities ; i may call ihem rarities j 1 i why so ? because ihey are hemed in on both i j sides by or with such large mountains and â€¢ likewise the settlements of lhe soil yielding such abundance of increase that we could not ; help conjecturing there was great multitudes of | them ; the smallest of these valley towns by , ; our computation exceeded 200 acres of corn i ' besides crops of potatoes peas and beans â€” j | these creatures are most curious in iheir way 1 | of building according to their opportunity of in : slruction ; they raise in each of their towns a large house which they call a town or in oth !

oul they not having patience to wail for our ar rival and doubting that the enemy would not i slay long there they attacked the camps ; but 1 being deceived by the situation of the same they attacked the wrong end and gave them a j clear passage to run â€” as they did the first shot the cotappoes being in the front espied a cheerokee coming out of one of iheir houses and being so confounded by the surprise ran the wrong road for him for instead of clearing himself as the rest of his countrymen did he made right in the face of our indians who,willing â– to see such a chance embraced the opportuni ty and committed him to the terrors of death j after the departure of those cowards the co tappoes searched next for plunder and got a ' greal parcel of beads wampum garters and ! dear-skins and likewise some horses ; and in | getting his booty were vastly encouraged ; but â€¢ as they were returning with iheir prize and ascending up a hill some small distance from their camps the cheerokees waylaid lhe co tappoes and being unperceived by being be hind trees fired at them ar.d killed one of the head warriors among them he who first discov ered their camps our men instantly rushed up ; but as soon as our enemies fired they ran so that ihey cleared themselves after this they started down to toxaway where we met them with the reinforcement ; and having no thing more to do there we all marched back to senica fort and arrived thursday the 3d and lay there waiting for col sumpter and regi ment before we could start to the middle set dement being too scarce for amunition ; so lay encatnp'd till thursday the 12ih instant when arrived 270 men of col sumpter's who encamped friday the 13th day of september 177g we started by beat of drum lo march ; our in tent was for the middle settlements a habita i lion for indians we or our lines of battle j were ordered as follows : we were drawn up i iu ihree lines or wings col sumpter comman der of the right wing col mammon comman j der of the leli wing and col neel commander j of die front or centre in this manner we j marched to the waters of cane creek and ; encatnp'd after a day's march of about 8 miles saturday the 14th we started from camp and marched until we came to the mountains j of ocone and crossed them with some difficul i ty and at length came to a small branch and j encamp'd there after a day's march of 15 miles | next day we marched about 12 miles and en 1 camp'd at a river called tugla at the mouth of i warewoman's creek from there we march ed next day and crossed warewoman's creek i il being so crooked that we crossed it above i 16 miles in the distance of 8 then corning into a mountainous country our marching be coming lhe more difficulter we scarcely ex ceeded 12 miles per day ; but allowing that this distance itself would some time or other bring us to our enemies towns it fared us as follows : we next came to the waters of little tugla and encamp'd by the foot of 2 mountains â€” ihis days march aboul 12 miles tuesday the 17th of september we start ; ed as formerly and marched to the waters of j tinnessy river from thence to the gassy plains and on to the narrows made by the ; mountains on one side and tinnessy river on the other where we expected to have an en i gagement with our enemies being so advanta gious lor ihem being the spot where they re | pulsed general grant the last war with killing upwards of 50 men a great many horses and lost a vast deal of provision ; so much that a , great many suffered before ihey returned but to be short we came through these narrows with great courage and continued our march to the first town in the middle settlements call ed thisinlheagb and finding the indians all had lie we encamped in this town it being convenient on account of houseroom here , we sloped till further orders which soon came for on wednesday the 18th instant we march ed a long tinnessy river to coweachee town and finding the north army had been there commanded by brigadier general rutherford we started in pursuit of them as far as a town called cannutee where we found a party of the aforesaid army ; that is to say a baggage guard whilst the rest marched to the vallies we started at the north fork of tinnessy and marched lhis day to the south fork of said wa ters being about 12 miles this evening we were informed lhat the north army had started to lhe vallies was bewildered on account of being destiiule ofa pilot : this account occa sioned us lo send two pilots to tliem allowing them to attack the lower end of the vallies whilst we were lo attack the uppermost town here we encamped by the aforesaid tinuissy river thursday the iqthdayof september 1776 we started to the vallies and a most difficult roal il wis marching along tinnessy river or branch called cowechee ; the path or road we marched led us into along valley or rather a hollow surrounded by mountains on all sides only ihe entrance ; this place goes by th * [ name of black hole and well it deserves that i title but to proceed on our milling our front j guard commanded by capt ross was aboul half through these narrow and seeing some very fresh signs of indians had a mind to halt j until the two wings that is col sumpter and col h amnions would come up even with him ; but ihey being tedious the passage being nar i row aud difficult and he being hurryed by one john sentpears who was hurrying fast to his i end as appears by his conduct but to be as 1 short as possible as i informed you the afore said capt being aboul half through hese nar rows the enemy was all ambuscaded around us and not being discovered until capt hamp ton who was captain of the main guard and marched on the front of the right wing had as sended up the mountain when he espyed indi ans behind a tree afler lhis discovery he in stantly fired at them this alarm opened or rather emptied our enemies guns to our sur prize ihey poured down their bullets upon us beyond the standing of any common soldiers ; but we being resolute were determined not to bo conquered which plainly appears by our valour and magnanimity our noble col neel being partly in the front fought most admira bly considering his age and frailly ; but cast ; ing these infirmities away and putting on the 1 coal of invincibleness and rushing through lis enemies like a herculess or one fearless of danger with his men at his back determined l to fight while there was one of them ; and by our obedience to his orders we through mercy â– defeated our enemies wilh the loss of 13 gal lant men a merciful escape considering the 1 wonderful form those heathens was placed in : likewise the impossibility of our geuing an equal chance with them the greatest and ! indeed almost all the killed and wounded were i in col neel's regiment on the account of our being in the front of the battle this engage ! ment may be spoken of as a miracle consider ! ing the multitudes of enemies and an admira ! ble place they had to fire on us that we were i not almost all killed ; for nature never formed ! such an advantageous place for our enemies ! which was allowed of by all spectators this ! mountain is of a hemispherical form and had i to march over the center of the same where our enemies had us partly under their fire be fore hey were discovered â€” this battle con tinued the space of 2 hours very warm but ac cording to our orders which was as follows ; ' the first fire our line that is gol neel's regi ment was ordered to the right to assist the guard who was first attacked ; and leaving our line according io order and none to fill up our place the poor front guard was left amongst their heathen enemies with none to assist them ; so that ihem that could not get retreat ing dyed by lhe hand of iho enemy ; for col sumpter was ordered wilh his regiment lo a mountain o the right distant almost a mile : the chief design of that i suppose was to hinder our enemies from coming round on our baggage and provisions which orders they ex ecuted very manfully ; but as for col ham ilton's regiment i cannot give any account of their orders as i had not an opportunity of see in them ; the line however that ihey ought to have cleared of our enemies was the left which kept up a constant and hot fire against us ; but by risking and running upon them cleared them off heir mountain which seemed an impossi i bility to do considering the advantage they had ' of us on account of the situation of the moun ' lain they were on and likewise the grass be i ing so admirable long that they always had j the first shot ; and also lhe mountain being so steep that they could handily clear themselves i so that we had to appearance but little chance i with them one thing we prelty soon cleared i ihem off iheir mountain ; for there was no oth er way to conquer them than the method we ! took which was lo run right upon them as hard i as we could run ; for it would have been next i to vanity to stand and fight them but to be short we cleared ihem off their mountain with ! out giving ihem so much lime as to take off all ! their luggage ; for they left baggage of about j 200 of them that is lo say blankets mocosons ! boots some guns matchcoats and doar-skins c c i i must here give a sketch concerning the ! conduct of some of col neel's men who were j wounded and escaped first of capt ross who was in the front was slightly wounded ; the ' indian that fired at him thought to have his i scalp and making to him his head being down ! and bleading struck with the gun in his hand ! until the force of the stroke broke the butt ! thereof but the captain recovering and act | ing like a gentleman becoming his station ! wilh all the intrepidity that nature ever en i dowed a hero with of this age soon overcame | him and got his scalp this aforesaid cap i lain ought to be extolled to the utmost for his ' wonderful conduct and patriotism who is al ' ways acting for the good and advantage of his i couniry ; and none who is not bigoted up in enthusiasm that is to say heat of imagination : ; if we were here to applaud him according to ' his deserts we should neither have room nor expression to accomplish the same : â€” but to proceed we will next take notice of a lieuten i ant that was that day in the front with him [ named wiliiam patrick a man of distinction as well as properly ; he was in the midst of his enemies having ihe whole engagement and shewed all the valour and dexterity imaginable next our noble capt clinton who ought to be in the front of our journal on account of his valour and elegance being a gentleman of su i perior dignity and flexibility his courage is un bounded and his conduct inexpressible as j plainly appeared by the sudden retreat of ihese j foresters occasioned by the undaunted courage j of such superior officers and lhe assistance of their good soldiers ; but more particularly by the hand of providence that interposed in our behalf we conquered our heathen enemies ', the number of indians that fought us thai day by information was 600 the number of ihem lhat was killed is not exactly known but we found but 4 dead on the ground â€” we had to encamp here all night en account of bury in our dead and attending the sick and woun ded : a most dreadful sight to behold our fel low creatures lying massacred in such a man j ner by lhe heathens for there was three oi ; four scalp'd and one sadly speered and loma j hawked : his name was john senlspeers who when the battle began ran violently up among ' the thick of them ; so lhal they had time and liberty to do wiih whatsoever they listed â€” i there was also killed samuel thomson a i young a man of great courage and valour like ; wise a man of conduct and gained the good | will and esteem of all lhat ever was acquainted | wilh him ; in short he was of that evenness of j temper that all his acquaintance desired his i company if i had time and room to display | his merits or was really abje to do so it would make the most obduratest heart lament the boss of such a hero to think that power or authori i ty over such a good man but why should i : say so ; who by appearance was in lhat assem bly fitter to go and attend the call he was com missioned or summoned unto ? it was allowed ' he was deceived by thinking it was one of onr j own indians until the cheerokee shot him ; wilh two bullets in the body there was like ; wise killed john guyton william moore : i james caldwell john branner james lusk ! | and one the name of linen lhe remainder i j cannot recollect ; but there was killed on the ' ground 13 and 18 wounded ; in all killed and j wounded the number of 31 gallant and brave j soldiers friday the 20th we gathered our sick and wounded and sent ihem back to the north ar \ : > my and sent with them a guard of one hundred ! j men and the remainder of us continued our j march to the vallies ; so started and came into the greatest of lhe narrows where were great . numbers of our enemies camps confined by the sides of admirable laurel thickets : our road seemed to go up such a large mountain or rather between two mountains which seem i ed the wildermost like part of the world we were ever in the precipice of which seem ed unclimbable ; but not tearing these seeming difficulties whilst our good presepter col neel was able and willing to lead us through all darger in this manner we marched expect ing we should see our enemies every mile | whom we were always ready to engage being prepared for them at length we came to the top of lhe mountain with some difficulty and finding it so high and open we encamped thereon after a day's match of about 5 miles saturday the 21st instant we continued our march as formerly and as i have mentioned of lhe day's march before of the difficulties con tained therein i think this day will afford us little restitution therefor only this it seems something descending we marched through laurel swamps and thickets a place where we had not the happiness of the sun to shine on us neither the privilege of marching without great difficulty occasioned by the narrowness of the path being closed in by mountains on both sides ; and also the thickets of laurel so closed over our heads that it hindered us i may say from the light of the firament it al so hindered oui flankers to march and confin ed us almost to one path in this manner we marched about 5 miles and on a sudden the front espyed an indian squa ; at her they fired two guns which put us all in an alarm allow ing it an attack but soon found to the contrary seeing no more indians there we sent up one bremen a half indian that was in company to ask her some questions ; for although she was wounded in the shoulder and leg yet she could speak and told the interpreter as follows viz that all the over-hill indians and the chief of he indians of the towns we had gone i through were at that battle lhat was fought the day before : and further that they were en i camped about 4 miles ahead and was prepar ing to give us balile by lhe river or waters of tinnessy â€” hearing this account we started [ and the informer being unable to travel some of our men favoured her so far that they killed her there to put her out of pain but to pro ceed we marched as quick as possible o the aforesaid waters beholding as we marched j the backs and forms ihey had to lay their guns on in case of an engagement as we conjee lured ; and by the appearance of the same there appeared lo be great numbers of them which gave us fresh assurance of our having another engagement with hem which we much wished if we could get an equal chance wiih them in the ground which is almost an impossibility to do they having such opportu nities of chusing it : and likewise they will not stand a battle with any but when they j have such advantages â€” by this time we came \ within sight of the aforesaid river which seem ed tbe most advantageous place for our ene j mies of any water we had hitherto met with ! being closed in by a thicket on one side and by a large mountain on the other however ; placing our men in order as follows we sent the left wing over the river the right wing up the mountain and us in the front or cenlre : â€” j these were the orders of our head command er general williamson which we obeyed and | marched through a dreadful valley and wonder j ful thickets at length we came to a place more clear and encamped there after a day's ! march of 9 miles we are to mind that the number of men that ' marched from sinachee fort that drew provis i ions were 1860 but the aforesaid battle reduc i ed us to the number of 1600 exclusive of 164 | who were sent back with the sick and wound ed sunday the 22d day of september 1776 we i started and il seemed as if we were-never lo | get a road again that was travelablc for this j day showed us the worst road we hitherto met ! with ; the reason was this day col neel's regi j ment was appointed for the right wing flank j which occasioned us to lake lo the tops of the ; mountains which seemed a task hard enough j for birds ; bul it was not a time then to hesilate ' go we must and go we did all with one con sent knowing that there was no danger or ma terial affair to happen : col neel's regiment was all they depended upon in the execusion of ', it and it always happened that we came off fortunately and victorious being crowned wiih 1 fortitude capable to bring us through the great i est difficulties : so we marched from one m<>nii ; tain lo another which seemed an impossibili ty even for fancy to accomplish or for the most curious writer to describe at length we came i to a mountain more curious than lhe rest be cause il gave us a more clearer view of the neighbouring mountains and a small valley or grassy plains this we wished to be our desired port : the distance we could not give an exact i account of â€” i have taken notice of this extraor dinary mountain which was almost impassible being nearly perpendicular the next moun ; lain that offered was named by us slalely hill on account of ils natural produce abounding ; mightily wiih slaies over this we came also and arrived at the path where lhe army had lo , march which was liule inlerior to oiirs only not nigh so high but abounding with lawrel swamps and sideling thickets after this man ner we marched to lhe waters of highwassa.and encamped between iwo mountains after a day's march of 9 miles monday the 23d we made ready to march ; the orders from our general was that there should be 40 men chosen out of each regiment for front guards or rather spies lo discover the situation ot the towns ; so we set off and , always minded to lake pdssession of all the hills â– ' and mountains we came to we crossed a ! small mountain named knotty hill ; from i thence we steered to another where we had a 1 full view of a town called burning town dis \ . lant from us about 1 mile : so look lo the right i to surround it and continued in that course j about half way by this time we espied the main body of our army marching into it the [ front of the town we look where we gol peace j ; ably without shooting a gun though a large i town having upwards ol 90 houses and large : ! quantities of corn ; but they had cleared them j j selves and took with them the chief of all their : effects save some of iheir horses a party of i col thomas's regiment being on the hunt of i plunder or some such thing found an indian | squa and look her prisoner she being lame ; : was unable lo go with her friends ; she was so sullen lhat she would as an old saying is nei | iher lead nor drive and by iheir account she died iu iheir hands ; bul i suppose ihey help j , ed her to her end here we encamp'd among i ( the corn where we had a great plenty of corn i peas beans potatoes and hogs : this day's j march about 3 miles tuesday the 24th instant we were ordered ; to assemble in companies to spread through lhe ! â€¢ town lo destroy cut down and burn all the veg elables belonging lo our healhen enemies \ which was no small undertaking they being ' so plentifully supplied : so afler accomplishing 'â– this we were ordered lo march by this lime ! there was an express arrived from lhe norlh i army hat gave us the following intelligence 1 viz that the first town they came lo they j surrounded it and killed and took the number | of 16 indian fellows and squas without the loss of one man the enemy not being apprized of their coming after this agreeable account we started and came along a small mount call ed by them bloody hill and so on to another town called timossy distance 2 miles and en camped wednesday the 25th of september 1776 , i we engaged our former labour that is cutting ;' ; and destroying all things that might be of ad | ' vantage to our enemies finding here curi i ' ous buildings greal apple trees and whiieman ! ' like improvements these we destroyed ; and ! '' marched down said vallies to another town ! named nowyouwee ; this we destroyed and | all things therunto belonging distant 2 miles j ' i from hence we steered lo another lown called , < tilicho a brave plentiful town abounding with , ; the aforesaid rarities ; i may call ihem rarities j 1 i why so ? because ihey are hemed in on both i j sides by or with such large mountains and â€¢ likewise the settlements of lhe soil yielding such abundance of increase that we could not ; help conjecturing there was great multitudes of | them ; the smallest of these valley towns by , ; our computation exceeded 200 acres of corn i ' besides crops of potatoes peas and beans â€” j | these creatures are most curious in iheir way 1 | of building according to their opportunity of in : slruction ; they raise in each of their towns a large house which they call a town or in oth !
